"This tastes like Thanksgiving." -S. Leitzel
This Crockpot recipe is still a work in progress, but I thought I'd share this one with you all since the fall weather seemed fitting for it. Perfect for cold windy days like today in my neck of the woods.
Ingredients:
Chicken, however much you'd like to make or how much your Crockpot will hold
3 or more apples
3 Mulling Spice tea bags (or 2 Tbsp)
1 Orange (zest & juice)
1 Lemon (zest & juice)
4 Cloves of garlic, peeled
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
3 Tbsp Dark Brown Sugar
Salt & Pepper
Prep:
-Bring 6 Cups of water to a boil. Take off heat and add Mulling Spice Tea Bags and Brown Sugar to water. Let the spices steep and cool down. (make sure the liquid is cooled down before pouring into crockpot.)
-Peel and slice apples once the mulling spice brew has cooled down. Set aside.
-Once the mulling spice brew has cooled down, zest and juice orange and lemon into the brew.
-Salt (LIBERALLY - it will be used to season the chicken as well) and pepper the brew.
In Crockpot:
1. Put a layer of sliced apples in the Crockpot. (add the whole garlic cloves in the first layer of apples.)
2. Then place a layer of chicken
3. (repeat steps 2 & 3 till the top layer is apples - any remaining apples just pour on top layer)
4. Pour brewed mulling spice mix into the Crockpot till the chicken is almost submerged but not quite.
5. Set Crockpot on LOW for 6 hours or till chicken is falling off the bones. Serve with cooked apple slices.
Enjoy!
Please let me know if it could be bettered in anyway. Thanks! <3
